Cee-Lo Green
Man of the minute, Cee-Lo Green, flips a classic from Band of Heroes in this latest visual. Watch the video to “No one’s gonna love you” below. It features a couple drinking, lighting fireworks, cliff-diving into water, and getting naked. It’s NSFW, unless your job is watching videos of two people running around naked ;)
& happy birthday
Turning 18 is a special event for everyone. It’s not just another birthday, but a major milestone which means you can finally get into clubs, do your driver’s licence and all those things you have been dreaming of since adolescence. The 18th birthday should be celebrated to the fullest. Ferrero decided to do exactly that by airing a special TV-series of entertaining mini-spots where we follow the Schoko-Bon character on his journey to reaching the age of majority. M&C Saatchi Berlin came up with the lovely boards and our director Steve Scott was the perfect choice to bring them to life. He not only developed the Schoko-Bon character but also created a whole new comic surrounding for the commercials, accompanied by music from our inhouse composer Jonathan Wulfes.
We say hip hip hooray and happy birthday.

The film
24 filmakers from around the world came together to create “Coalition of the Willing” an animated film about the online war against global warming in a “post Copenhagen” world. The film has been crafted by professional artists and filmmakers using an array of eclectic techniques. Since February, sections of the film have been released every two weeks onto the Coalition site; this innovative staggered release allowing the argument to be re-defined even as the film is being made. The complete film’s official launch took place on Wednesday 30th June at London’s Richmix cinema. At the same time Parasol Island & Sehsucht (german contributers to the movie) showed the masterpiece at CSA Bar in Berlin. For those who couldn’t be there, here you go:
